Alright, I'm building a computer, but for lack of better words it's fucked.

I have two CPUs that don't work (same CPUs), a new MoBo that I got in the mail today, and four sticks of ram that don't work.

I've replaced the CPU and MoBo and it still doesn't work. Is there something obvious in the specs that keep this from working together? I've talked to Athlon and they said it was the MoBo, I talked to Albatron and they said it was the CPU.

Too many things can be wrong with your components, I'm afraid. Perhaps you can take them to a local PC shop to have them test out the parts for you for a "small" fee? Sending the CPUs or MB back will cost you anyhow.
